If You've Never Failed

The picture has many things to say, it reminds me of how many times different Inventors tried and failed before they finally got it right.

Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive."

As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."

Michael Jordan and Bob Cousy were each cut from their high school basketball teams. Jordan once observed, "I've failed over and over again in my life. That is why I succeed."

So when you try doing something new and you fail don't give up on yourself, if Thomas Edison or Walt Disney and others gave up when they first failed, they won't be known. Probably another person might have discovered the light bulb, Disney may not have existed, but they kept trying. keep trying and being yourself. Just as these few known people succeeded, you too can. Have a wonderful weekend.
